CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977) has finally made it into the National Film Registry! Below is the full list of twenty-five films selected. Three of my picks made it. This year, the picks skewed entirely to film classics, with just one '80s movie and one '90s movie selected. No new Hitchcock film on the list, even when such classics as STRANGERS ON A TRAIN has yet to be chosen. All in all though, a good group.
